MOTORCYCLE HAS STALLED ON ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR AS I SLOW DOWN TO STOP OR AS I IDLE STATIONARY AND WAIT FOR GREEN LIGHT. MOTORCYCLE WILL THEN TURN OFF. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS I USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY AND RIDE 2-UP 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK.. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND PUT IT TO A REST. THANK YOU.11 ##

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR SYSTEM DID NOT HAVE NOMAD SO I SELECTED VAQUERO AS IT GAVE ME A DIFFICULT TIME IDENTIFYING THE MAKE AND MODEL. HOWEVER, VIN IS CORRECT AND VERIFIED. THE BIG SAFETY CONCERN IS THE KICKSTAND AND IF IT WILL HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE (900+LBS.). THE KICKSTAND ON MY 2011 VULCAN 1700 NOMAD IS IN MY OPINION NOT SUITABLE OR LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD UP SUCH A HEAVY MOTORCYCLE. I HAVE TO ROUTINELY CHECK AND AND ADJUST THE BOLTS AND/OR SPRINGS AFTER LONG RIDES. AT MANY TIMES, IT APPEARS THE BIKE CAN TIP OVER AS IT IS STATIONARY. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN IF THE KICKSTAND GIVES WAY AND THE HEAVY MOTORCYCLE FALLS AND INJURES ME OR SOMEONE ELSE.

Is 2 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2018 and 2019, roughly 2 a year, which is about the same as the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
